STOP The WAR On VIET NAM, Viet nam For the Vietnamese S.P.U.
1.75 diameter Orange / yellow version, S.P.U. = Student Peace Union
The S.P.U. emerged in 1959 on college campuses across the country and was more liberal than radical, After the Joseph McCarthy inspired dissolution of Communist and Socialist organizations on campuses the SPU became about the only option remaining for activists until the early to mid 60s when others took up the cause, the SPU faded away in 1964
Most of the older pins used Viet Nam where many of the pins from c1969 and later used Vietnam.
You have one nice collection! Wish I had thought to collect those but not sure the nco's & officers would have appreciated my collection. LOL!!
Thanks Blunderbuss, It's never too late to start, a few of these I bought in the last month for under $5.00
I bet more then a few NCOs CEOs and officers traded in there tie-die for suit & tie, I know a Chairman of one of the nations largest trucking Co. who is a old dope smokin hippy not that you would think it to look at him today.
Peace
Too old to start new collections & I'm trying to dump stuff now.
Yeah I thought that a few years ago when the old ticker gave me some problems, I sold some but I love the hunt so I still buy and sell (so I can buy more lol)
After my heart surgery, I woke up to the fact that I'm not immortal, - only immoral!
I really doubt that I would find any protest pins in St. Maarten/St. Martin! LOL!
Maybe not but it seems you found a piece of heaven (or at least it's a nice place to visit as I've not lived there)
